Madelaine Brockway and Jacob LaGrone’s lavish wedding turned the couple into overnight TikTok stars, but their wedding bliss has been marred by the groom facing criminal charges.

Brockway, a car dealership heiress from Florida, became an influencer almost overnight with her opulent wedding. The extravagant five-day celebration in Paris, dubbed the ‘wedding of the century’, featured an overnight stay at the Palace of Versailles and a private concert by Maroon 5.
However, 27-year-old Brockway has now set her Instagram and TikTok to private. According to The New York Post, her husband Jacob LaGrone, 29, is facing a possible life sentence for shooting at police officers. He has been charged with aggravated assault against a public servant for allegedly firing at three cops in Texas on March 14.

The Westworth Village police officers were responding to multiple reports of a disturbance when LaGrone shot at them. Aggravated assault against a public servant is a first-degree felony in Texas.

According to the indictment, LaGrone “did intentionally and knowingly threaten imminent bodily injury” to the officers and “did use or exhibit a deadly weapon during the commission of the assault, namely, a firearm”.

He appeared at the Tarrant County Courthouse in Fort Worth on November 30 and could face life in prison if convicted. His wife Madeline Brockway did not attend the court proceedings.
